ClassPoint fits PowerPoint lessons, and Formswrite fits teachers who need to move questions from Word, PDF or Google Docs into Socrative without retyping. ## Why teachers leave Socrative's free plan Socrative's pricing page lists the Free plan at $0 with 50 students per room, a maximum of 5 quizzes, 1 room and 30 days of report history. Essentials is $10 per month or $120 per year and adds unlimited quizzes, 5 rooms and 90 days of reports. Pro is $16.67 per month ($200.04 per year) for 2 seats with 30 rooms and up to 300 students per room. The free plan also caps its AI tools per week: question generation at 15, question import at 6 and report analysis at 3. ## Comparison table | | Socrative | Wayground (Quizizz) | ClassPoint | Formswrite | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Free plan | 5 quizzes, 1 room, 50 students | Up to 20 stored activities, 100 students per class | 25 students, 5 questions per PPT | 5 Formswrite Forms per month | | Paid price listed | $10 per month or $120 per year (Essentials) | Custom quote for schools | $8 per month or $96 per year (Pro) | See the pricing page | | Question types | Multiple choice, true/false, short answer | Limited on Basic, 20+ on District | Multiple choice, word cloud, short answer, drawing, image upload | Imports your own questions | | Live game | Space Race | Live and student-paced | Leaderboards, badges, levels | Formswrite Play | | Imports | Create or import quizzes | Library and Google Classroom | Works inside PowerPoint | Word, PDF, Google Docs, Excel, Sheets | | Exports | Reports and summary sheets | LMS integrations on District | Class reports | Socrative, Quizizz, Kahoot, Google Forms, Canvas and 20+ more | Sources: [Socrative pricing](https://www.socrative.com/pricing/), [Wayground pricing](https://wayground.com/home/pricing), [ClassPoint pricing](https://www.classpoint.io/pricing), checked October 2026. ## Pick Wayground if You want a free plan that is not capped at 5 quizzes. Wayground's Basic plan is free for every teacher and offers live and student-paced delivery, 20+ accommodations including text-to-speech, 20 stored activities and up to 100 students per class. Basic has limited question types, and the full set of 20+ question types, LMS integrations and AI grading sit in the custom-priced School and District plan. For a head-to-head with Kahoot, see our [Kahoot vs Quizizz comparison](/blog/kahoot-vs-quizizz-which-is-better-for-teachers). ## Pick ClassPoint if Your lesson is a slide deck. ClassPoint runs as a PowerPoint add-on, so students answer without installing anything. The free Basic plan is limited to 25 students and 5 questions per presentation, and Pro at $8 per month raises that to 200 students and unlimited questions. ## Pick Socrative if You want simple, fast quizzes in a room. Socrative offers multiple choice, true/false, short answer, Space Race and live polling, plus instant feedback and automatic grading. Its Pro plan is the only one that reaches 300 students per room. ## Where Formswrite fits Formswrite is not a replacement room. It solves the step before the room: getting questions in. You upload a Word file, PDF, Google Doc, Excel file or Google Sheet, and Formswrite builds the quiz, which you can then export to Socrative, Quizizz, Kahoot, Blooket, Gimkit, Google Forms, Canvas, Moodle and more than a dozen other platforms. You can also run the quiz as a live timed game with Formswrite Play. The free plan allows 5 Formswrite Forms per month, and every other export, including Socrative, is paid. A typical workflow: keep your question bank in a Google Doc, convert it once, and send the same quiz to Socrative for exit tickets and to Google Forms for homework. Our guide on [turning a Google Doc into a Socrative quiz](/blog/google-doc-to-socrative-convert-google-docs-into-socrative-quizzes-with-formswrite) walks through it, and [best quiz makers for teachers](/blog/best-quiz-makers-for-teachers-2025) compares the wider field. ## How to move your questions without retyping 1. Put your questions in a Word file, PDF, Google Doc, Excel file or Google Sheet, with the correct answer marked. 2. Upload the file to Formswrite and choose the quiz output. 3. Check the generated questions and answer key, and fix anything the conversion misread. 4. Export to the platform you use, or run it as a live timed game with Formswrite Play. Remember that the free plan covers 5 Formswrite Forms per month, and exports to other platforms are paid.
